I Love a Rainy Day!
“I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.” – GENESIS 9:13
When you have a day at the beach, an outdoor wedding or a big family-reunion picnic planned, a rainy day feels like a disaster. I use to feel this way until I heard it rain for the first time 12 years ago. Yes, you read that right – I had NEVER heard the rain. My husband Jamie loves the rain and he would always say “I just wish you could hear this Holli, it’s beautiful!” I will never forget the day I did. I had just purchased my hearing aids and I was wearing them for the first time when late that night Jamie asked me to come stand on our little porch, at our old house, and it was there that I could hear that beautiful pitter patter of the rain as it hit the sidewalk. AHHH what a wonderful moment. At the age of 36, I heard it rain. I never take one rainy day for granted and often you will find our whole family dancing in it. Now, many of you probably haven’t had an experience like that – But most of the time, there are lots of reasons to love rainy days!
*No yard work, and you don’t have to clean the car!
*Things like youth soccer games get cancelled, removing them from an already too-busy schedule.
*They make for a great time to stay inside and read a book.
* The grass is going to be thick and green before the onset of summer heat.
*It’s a great time to gather the family and play board games, have an inside picnic and get in that much need quality time.
*Flowers are coming, flowers are coming and they need water to grow!!
*They make us appreciate a bright, sunny day even more.
*We might see a rainbow – God’s own sign that He will never destroy the earth by water again.
Rainy days. They may or may not be your favorite. But like all other days, they offer something positive. And since all days are God’s days, a blessing can always be found in a storm cloud. Today you will encounter all of this and know that it’s God’s creation. When you see the beauty around you, let each detail remind you to lift your head in praise! Make it a Super Day Ladies! I love you!
MY Prayer For This Month:
FATHER, THANK YOU FOR BOTH RAIN AND SUNSHINE IN MY LIFE. I KNOW THAT I NEED BOTH EXPERIENCES. AND THANK YOU THAT YOUR PRESENCE AND BLESSINGS ARE FOUND NO MATTER THE WEATHER. AMEN.
